"AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné isn’t cleared to compete after suffering a broken nose when she won the title last month at All in. Former champions Thekla and Willow Nightingale fought each other tonight (Sept. 26) at All Out to determine the number one contender for Mone’s return to the ring next month (Oct. 17) at WrestleDream. Willow entered the match with a broken hand, and that injury proved to be her downfall. The finish first saw the Sisters of Sin (Skye Blue & Julia Hart) interfere and target Willow’s hand. However, their execution didn’t exactly go according to plan. Sisters of Sin are on the scene, but there's miscommunication!

The Toxic Spider took advantage by stomping Willow’s broken hand into the mat. She followed up with one more stomp on her neck to seal the deal and score the three count.
